This is great news, Hanners, Jack and Mitchell on ball should keep us reasonably competitive in the midfield for the next 10 years or so.
Any idea on what height Tom will end up?
If he has the same humour as his father then he and Hanners could make quite a duo. Anyway, this signing pleases me big time.

Great news - especially considering the draft concessions to GWS next year and the fact he is rated so highly. Great to know that if we have a strong year on-field next year, we can get a player who would potentially go in the top handful for a draft pick that could be somewhere in the mid-teens or even lower.

I'm on the Chandwagon!!!
If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.
Wow this is huge news. Fantastic for the club. Looking forward to seeing our Rolls Royce midfield in action in a few years' time.

He may very well have been the No.1 pick.
Still have the Duffle Coat (junior version) with No. 10 on the back. Hope that Tom gets No 10 so I can pass the coat onto my daughter!!!!!!

Awesome news!
Excellent news seems that he will be a good player!
Been watching reports for a while and was hopeful? To get this news this far our means that the swans have looked after him when he visited.
Well done swans

177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....
